Queen’s cousin’s 436-year-old mansion with 40 rooms on market for £4.75m

A 436-year-old mansion belonging to the late Queen Elizabeth II 's first cousin The Duke of Gloucester is now on the market for offers exceeding £4.75 million. The Grade-II listed Barnwell Manor, in Northamptonshire, is said to boast 40 rooms including four reception rooms, eight bedrooms and six bathrooms.

It's understood that Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, King Charles III's first cousin once removed, resided at the stunning property with his wife, Birgitte van Deurs., Duchess of Gloucester, until the mid-nineties, after which point, they reportedly could no longer afford to live there.

After letting the property to an antiques firm, the royal couple made the move to an apartment at Kensington Palace, the official London residence of The Prince and Princess of Wales.
